Michael Wilson News
Saturday, August 22, 12:05 PM
Arizona Cardinals wideout Michael Wilson is coming off a career year where he set career-best marks in targets, receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. The 26-year-old finished as the WR10 overall in PPR scoring and averaged 13.0 fantasy points per game. Wilson quickly established a connection with Jacoby Brissett and reaped the benefits of Marvin Harrison Jr. missing an extended amount of time due to injuries. However, in the three games Harrison played over 70 percent of the snaps after Week 6, Wilson averaged 7.9 points per game and failed to surpass double-digit fantasy points. In addition, Wilson averaged 4.9 points per game during the first seven weeks of the season when Harrison was on the field. It will be intriguing to see if Harrison and Wilson can coexist in Mike LaFleur's new offense. If not, Wilson could fade to being off fantasy radars in season-long leagues again.

Brock Bowers News
Friday, August 14, 8:52 AM
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers wasn't on the field for long in Thursday night's preseason-opening loss to the visiting Arizona Cardinals, as he played just one offensive snap before coming out of the game. Veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins and running back Ashton Jeanty stayed in a bit longer with the starting offense, but the Raiders weren't going to take any chances with their star TE. The 23-year-old former 13th overall pick from the University of Georgia battled a knee injury last year and finished with only 64 receptions for 680 yards in 12 games, but he still managed to post a career-high seven touchdown receptions on 86 targets. It was a step back after his 112-1,194-5 line in 17 games as a rookie in 2024. With an improved QB situation with Cousins/rookie Fernando Mendoza in new head coach Klint Kubiak's offense, the sky is the limit for Bowers, which is why he's the consensus top fantasy football TE in most formats going into Year 3. Despite missing five games due to injury last year, Bowers still managed to finish as the TE10 in half-PPR scoring.
